Betting With Mates Introduction

The product (bet with mates) is super simple to understand. If you have ever participated in a betting syndicate you will understand the concept. Bet With Mates is a product that allows people to create a group. They then pool their funds together and bet on behalf of the created new Group.

The app allows the group to decide what the buy-In level will be. You as a group of mates then decide on the rules about how and what to bet on.

Bet With Mates Requires A Social Contract

It is the responsibility of the Group and its Members to decide, set, and administer any particular Group betting protocols they see fit, including any betting limits imposed on Members. This is called the Social Contract. Accordingly, all Group Members acknowledge and agree that it is their responsibility to form and adhere to the Social Contract in relation to the Group.

How To Create a Group!

Navigate to the Bet With Mates option in the Main Menu on Sportbet. To create a Group, Betfresh customers have to set the Buy-In and transfer options. Then set the number of funds into the Group from their own unique Betfresh account. The customer who creates the Group will be listed as the group’s Admin.

A Group needs to have at least two Members. This includes the set Admin. who has transferred the Buy-In amount into the joint Group. Then the Admin Activates the group. When all of the group members are happy that all the invited members have joined and deposited the Buy-In amount. All Members will then own an equal share in the funds.

Betfresh states in writing that there can be no more than 100 members in the Group at any one time. This is mainly due to technology not being able to handle more than 100 and also Australian gambling laws around syndicates.

Activating the bet with mates Group is simple. The Admin clicks on the ”start betting” button and then clicks on the confirmation. Once the account is activated, no individual can be added as a Member. Betfresh states that Duplicate Groups are not permitted.

The Admin Has A Lot Of Responsibility

Each Group must appoint at least one Administration account. If a group of mates has only one Admin and that Admin decides to leave the Group of mates. The Member who joined the Group secondly will automatically be appointed as the group’s Admin.

Once activated, an Admin is not allowed to remove any of the members. If the bet with mates group has not been Activated. The Admin can close the Group and any funds transferred into the Group by a Member will be returned to their personal Betfresh account. The returned funds maintain the status applicable to them upon being transferred into the Group.

The Admin can request a Top-Up from the group, at which time the Admin and other Members are required to transfer the requested amount of funds from the Admin into the Group from their own Betfresh account.

Once all bet with mates Members who want to top up have done so, the Admin can choose to resume the group betting.

How To Send An Invitation & How To Join!
